September 11:
THE ULTIMATE FIELD DAY FOR CONSPIRACISTS!
Ex-Con LaRouche uses
Sept. 11 radio show for
pres. campaign materialOn the morning of Sept. 11, perpetual presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche appeared on Salt Lake City talk show The Jack Stockwell Show. As the disaster unfolded, LaRouche tied the events to U.S. foreign policy, the imminent global financial collapse, and his own brand of hawkish madness.
Obviously impressed with himself, LaRouche printed thousands of copies of the transcript, and his followers distributed them around the country, all with the eventual purpose of getting him elected president of 2004.
In the transcript, LaRouche showed both his deep knowledge of geopolitics and his bizarre paranoia. Some highlights of his prophetic radio appearance:
"The first suspicion that's going to be on this is Osama bin Laden. That name is going to come up prominently, whether as suspicion or just suspicion."
"This is to create a provocation inside the United States. I mean, that's the only reason that would be done. As you probably know - for example, stories may come out that this is done by some Arab group which is protesting the U.S. government's sympathy for Sharon, or for the Israeli Defense Force. I don't know if the Israeli Defense Force are going to kill Sharon tomorrow, I mean, because there's real conflict there. And these guys tend to shoot, then think."

The CIA, gold prices and 9/11
And now...a real conspiracy?
While it may be hard to tie gold prices, Wall Street derivatives or Chandra Levy to September 11 without sounding crackers, even intelligent and rational readers should be paranoid about all the dead microbiologists.
Canada's Globe and Mail filed a lengthy report on May 4 tying together how 11 prominent microbiologists who specialized in bioweapons development or bioterror prevention had been killed over a five month period.
Of the 11 deaths the article detailed, five were murdered, one committed suicide after murdering one of the five, four were involved in "freak" accidents, and one apparently had a stroke.
It almost makes you want to start a website, doesn't it?

Former Los Angeles Police Departent officer Michael C. Ruppert has spent the last 20 years exposing U.S. government involvement in drug-smuggling, and has developed a publishing company called "From The Wilderness," which specializes in reporting on U.S. covert actions. In an interview on the Berkeley-based Guerilla News Network, Ruppert claimed the U.S. government and Wall Street instigated the Sept. 11 attacks to distract the world from their suppression of gold prices.
"Just two days before the attack, on September 9, I issued an urgent bulletin to all of my subscribers indicating a pending economic collapse of unbelievable proportions…One of [the cau.s.es] is an artificially suppressed gold price which is…a design by the U.S. Treasury and major banks to keep gold prices low so that investor confidence would stay high but also becau.s.e gold, physical gold, had been leveraged forward in multiples to an amount many times greater on paper than there is gold in actual existence…
"The second economic bomb that was ready to go off and which I warned about on Sept 9 was a $30 trillion derivatives bubble spearheaded by JP Morgan-Chase, and $30 trillion would have collapsed the economy… And what I had said on September 9 was, 'look, this is going down and we're all going to burn.' And that was two days before the attack."
Ruppert also posited that the U.S. government was complicit in the attacks or knew about it in advance. He provides detailed timelines to paint the picture, and also implicates the media :
"A more complete timeline…establishes CIA foreknowledge of [the attacks] and strongly suggests that there was criminal complicity on the part of the U.S. government in their execution. It also makes clear that the events which have taken place since September 11th are based upon an agenda that has little to do with the attacks.
"One wonders how these events could have been ignored by the major media or treated as isolated incidents. Failing that, how could skilled news agencies avoid being outraged, or at least even just a little suspicious?"

Levy knew of 9/11
Texe Marrs, a former assistant professor of aerospace studies at the University of Texas and U.S. Air Force officer, is also a multimillion-selling author of evangelical Christian books about Armageddon. In his online column, he tied missing Congressional intern Chandra Levy to the Sept. 11attacks:
"Levy was a recruit of the Israeli Mossad ... In that capacity, she had served as an intern in the executive offices of California Governor Gray Davis, an Illuminati initiate, and that is where she first met Mr. Condit, also an Illuminati servant.
"Levy somehow stumbled onto ... the horrific Illuminati plot to manipulate so-called Arab Islamic terrorists to smash airliners into the World Trade Center Towers and the Pentagon. This unauthorized disclosure sealed Chandra Levy's doom. On May 1st, a date numerologically and occultly significant in the Illuminati's witchcraft and satanic calendar, she was disposed of during a ritual at D.C.'s gothic Rock Creek Park, a large, forested area shaped like a goat's head - the hideous head of Baphomet, the Masonic goat-god, representative of the coming antichrist."
Hard to argue with that logic.
